Civilian injured in war denied veteran pension as law applies only to combatant soldiers.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by Jerzy G., a civilian musician, against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of a war veteran pension. Although the applicant was injured by a bomb explosion in 1945, the court found he was merely a child sent to a bakery and did not participate in combat or resistance activities. The court ruled that the relevant statute strictly defines a war veteran as a soldier who fought the enemy, thereby excluding civilians from its scope regardless of the injury's wartime origin.
